Default I Lost A Screw! Need Help!

so i installed my tien springs the other day with no problem. the last few days i've been hearing a wierd rattling underneath the hood. i kept checking and couldn't figure out what the noise was until i checked the driver side strut tower and noticed the cowl was crazy loose. sure enough, i forgot to put the screw in that holds it tight and it is as lost as it could be now. the rattling is annoying as hell and it's driving me nuts. what can i do now? can i even get that screw at the dealer or should i just hit up the local hardware store? plese help!

I would just hit up the local hardware store. Probably be cheaper, or you could try to take it in as warrenty work, that might work.

Take it in for Warranty work? Doesn't the fact that someone would suggest trying to lie to the dealer to save about 25 cents seem strange? Talk about grand theft auto!

Kind of. After all who says this could not have fallen out on its own? Hell the dealer might not even charge for something like this. Also that $.25 is if you could buy the screw by its self. I would think a box of them would run around $1.5 Not much, but still why pay for something if there is the possible chance of getting it for free?
